Yeah it is. I thought the seven I heard earlier would blow out and unfortunately it has.

So it's possible to keep rising.

Yeah more than likely. May they all rest in peace and my thoughts are with their families. Public transport accidents are always ‘scream into the void, why’ tragedies.

The balance right now is 39 dead, 12 people are in IC and might not survive. Among them there's a minor.

They suspect the number will rise because the train cars that got the worst part fell down a 4m ravine and they still didn't recovered them. Under the train cars there will probably be more people

Yeah I saw. It's terrible. Poor families of the victims.
